First Day of Convention
We can't believe day 1 of convention is over already. It was another good day. Brother Pierce gave the concluding talk. He is such a good speaker. He apologized for not knowing Swedish or sign language or Finnish but he said he knew how smile in each language with no accent. Thought that was funny. There was about 10,800 people there today which is amazing for them. They are used to 3,000-5,000 people. They definitely do some things different here...it is always interesting to go other places and see how things are done. We were expecting a section for the us and a section for the other countries for some reason...but everyone sat where they wanted so we were all scattered about which was nice. It reminded us a lot of long beach! Here is one picture of the inside before it started and one outside afterwards. We flooded the streets of Gothenburg! Now we are ready for day two of convention!

It looks like cozy convention setup. How is all the singing? Brother Pierce sounds like an awesome speaker.
ReplyDeleteThe weather says thunderstorms for Saturday, a Swedish thunderstorm! :)
The singing is actually hard to get used to because we sound like we are singing the wrongs words and it throws us off haha. If we end up sitting next to English singers as well then we start to sing a little louder.
DeleteHope you guys have an awesome last day of the convention!
